President, Pepperjam
Scranton, Pennsylvania Area
I've been involved in online marketing since 1999 after co-founding a gourmet food company based on a product my grandmother made while I was growing up. In the early days it became apparent to me that you can generate a ton of highly targeted, relevant traffic by simply paying for it on a cost-per-click basis through an innovative website called GoTo.com. Shortly thereafter, I became quite interested in discovering new ways to monetize website traffic. Inevitably, I found myself being asked by business owners if I could share with them what I had learned.
By accident, I ended up creating a full-service internet marketing agency named Pepperjam, which was recognized by Inc. Magazine for three consecutive years as one of the fastest growing privately-held companies in the United States. Most recently my company was acquired by GSI Commerce (NASDAQ: GSIC). I remain part of the company acting as President of the company I founded - Pepperjam.
